The correct CPT code for a bilateral cystoscopy and retrograde pyelogram is 52005-50, where 52005 represents the cystoscopy and retrograde pyelogram procedure and the modifier -50 indicates that the procedure was performed bilaterally. The appropriate ICD-10-CM codes are N40.0 for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is the diagnosis of gross prostatic hyperplasia, and N13.30 for unspecified hydronephrosis, which matches the patient's condition of worsening bilateral hydronephrosis.
